Abstract/ Summary

Tuesday was April 20, or 4/20, so here’s a friendly reminder in light of the holiday; Barack Obama smoked marijuana, and he isn’t a degenerate, he was the 44thpresident of the United States. Marijuana has been legalized in 16 states as well as Washington, D.C., and there are numerous studies showing that marijuana is, at thevery least, just as safe as alcohol. So why are over 40,000 Americans still incarcerated for marijuana-related charges?
